Time period is too close except some clubs do panic buying and we accept their offer. It should be evaluated in Winter transfer market. Now we need to sell/loan Arthur in this last day of mercato. So far like Capitano wrote we able to register all 21 Non HG players now. And All the position is covered despite we actually still can improve fullbacks or winger :
GK : Tek, Perin, Pinsoglio
CB : Gatti, Bremer, Bonucci, Rugani
RB : Danilo, Cuadrado
LB : Sandro, De Sciglio
DM : Paredes, Zakaria
LCM : Pogba, Rabiot, Miretti
RCM : Locatelli, Fagioli
RW : Di Maria, Kean, Soule
LW : Chiesa, Kostic
CF : Vlahovic, Milik
Cover CM or Winger : McKennie

He played as a deep lying playmaker at Sassuolo in a 2 man mid every time I watched them. Received the ball from the CBs and progressed it forward. He averaged like 10 long ball passes a match from deep and the most progressive passes overall per match in Serie A in 20-21, with like an 87.5% completion which was fantastic given the vertical nature of his passing and the number of long balls. When they needed a goal he had the versatility to move up the pitch and play closer to the opponents goal to create around the box but that wasn’t his main role for them. He was absolutely a deep lying playmaker there, and was often almost in line with the CBs. Any sort of tactical analysis from his Sassuolo time will tell you this.
Nope, the other guy, can't remember the name (Obiang?) was usually the more laying back and yes, they switched position sometimes to make it more unpredictable and to let Loca receive it deeper etc. But no, that does not make him the regista. That's missing the essence of the role of being the one channel everything goes through, being the dictating and organising player all game.
There are ever only a few true regista and he'll never be one of them. Just like Marchisio in the day, he can do a job there sometimes because he's comfortable on the ball but that's it. Just look at a kid like Rovella play and you see the difference.

i would think so yes.
All in all an average mercato imo:
Our new midfield does intrigue me tho, i have to say : Potentially seeing Arthur and the likes of Rabiot getting benched for actual football players makes me excited.
Next year tho: i hope they are bringing out the freaking Guillotine and start to make heads drop: a lot of garbage need to be removed and dissolved from this club.
Rabiot, De sciglio, Arthur, Alex sandro, Mckennie, Rugani etc all needs to go and should be replaced by hungry and young players
Personally i think we should look towards the French market more ( apart from Italy offcourse) . There is so much talent there, its insane.
We are lagging behind atm
